Marshall turned 6!

Marshall wanted a campfire birthday. Perfect I thought...super easy! Hardest part was finding a spot close to home with picnic tables, a campfire pit, and no fees. We ended up going to the reservoir. We had lunch with roasted hot dogs & marshmallows over the fire and I gave in to getting a pinata. 

I told him it was going to be a low key party, since he had a big party last year. So he wanted to invite his two best friends (we ended up inviting their whole families). This is Brooklyn and Korbin, who are both in his primary class. 

They had a great time playing by the water and cooking over the fire but of course, the pinata, was the highlight!!

We had the kids line up by age and they all took turns hitting the Minon. It was one super tough Minon, they all had plenty of hitting time. As you can see by their faces they had a BLAST!

Looks like this can be a dangerous activity, if you are sitting too close to the destroyer. Papa Sid just barely dodges a big swing!

SO MUCH FUN!!

We finally decided after a couple rounds to let the birthday boy just have at it. They were chanting his name...oh my goodness he was in HEAVEN! haha

All Marshall's girlfriends! ;)

Marshall's campfire cake with marshmallow creme in the middle. I actually enjoyed making this cake (no disasters), especially the candy fire.  Marshall just said as I'm typing this, "that was the best birthday EVER!" He said he wants this same birthday next year.  :)
